A good day in the field on southern Sealand

Some years, the late season can be good on normally very dry, coastal localities in southern Denmark:
Species list: C. infractus, C. anserinus, C. olidus, C. foetens, C. caesiocortinatus, C. rufo-olivaceus, C. flavovirens, C. alcalinophilus, C. talus, C. multiformium (C. polymorphus), C. aquilanus, C. cisticola, C. osmophorus, C. sodagintus, C. eucaeruleus, C. variecolor, C. argenteolilacinus.

Phlegmacium season has started

Due to heavy rain showers in June and juli, Phlegmaciums have started fruiting in Scandinavia. So far we have seen C. multiformis and C. sphagnophilus (photo) in moist Picea forest in Sweden.

Two species added to the key

C. bulbopodius s. Brandrud

The work on Funga Nordica 2nd edition is in progress, the new edition will contain more than 3000 species. The Phlegmacium key will only be extended with two species, since we have chosen only to include species which we have sufficient data on, and an appropriate name for. Both new species belongs to Sect. Percomes. The species are C. russeoides (which is genetically distinct and more slender than C. mussivus) and C. bulbopodius s. Brandrud.
